Vox seemed a bit sluggish initially. I turned it off and then on again and things improved a whole lot.

The boot after the update sat on the Kobo screen with the 2 flashing pink and blue squares so long that I thought something had gone wrong. When running Google Maps it ended up freezing and I had to do a reboot. I think the Vox is marginal in horsepower for that app. It's the only one I've tried so far.

Now I just have to figure out how to find apps, as opposed to looking at all of them.

Tap the magnifying glass at the top right and enter some keywords.

Other suggestions: if you find something that is close to what you want, but not quite what you want, look at the suggested apps on the information screen. If you find a developer that you like, the information screen will show you other apps that they have published.

Reason: Added more suggestions.

Since you are forced to update the software the first time you turn on the unit, what they ship with is irrelevant.

[edit]: Sorry, didn't notice what you quoted...

I think you have a choice to update later (or not at all). Say your battery was low and you didn't have good wifi, you could update later. Perhaps that's the wiser choice; read all the complaints before deciding if you want to update. I don't know what would happen if you put off updating until you saw an update that fixed everything and was bug-free. On my PC, I stayed with Firefox 3 for a long time before biting the bullet and updating to 12 because I was having too many problems. Now I update whenever there's a new version available.

Not forced to update at all. I have not updated since Nov. There is nothing, as far as I am concerned, worth messing with the setup I have.
I have custom start up sound, a few custom apps and bunch of side loaded books I do not wish to loose mysteriously.
The SOD might bring me out of hiding and then I would prey Jeff has an update to rooting..... if he is still here.
My Vox runs perfectly with no strange behaviour so no use messing with it
